Soothing Sapphire vs Passageway
Soothing Sapphire is a PPG color while Passageway comes from Valspar. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. At LRV 14 vs 8, Passageway will read as the brighter of the two — a 6-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.8, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
